The health (transport support) Bill, which aims to give financial assistance to people with a disability who are also on a low income, to help them access transport, is currently being categorised as work under way. Can the Minister inform me when this Bill will come before the House?

The Minister said earlier that his strategy is set out in the programme for Government and that this is his goal. I will not reiterate what Deputy Murphy O'Mahony has said, but clearly there is an opportunity in that legislation to expand and reintroduce an enhanced motorised transport grant for people with disabilities. That grant was to have been reintroduced some time ago. In that regard, could we expect to have a full review of the primary medical certificate to ensure that there is equity for many of those who hitherto have failed to be treated fairly and who need same?

When the Minister is undertaking the review can he also examine congenital conditions? In considering the primary medical certificate we should look at those born with a specific condition. For example, if a person is born as an albino and is visually impaired, we could include that condition. It is the same as dwarfism. Currently, the primary medical certificate is limited to five different categories: loss of a limb or half a limb, loss of a leg or half a leg, or dwarfism. An extra category of people with congenital conditions should be added in order to include them.

This is an important and challenging area. I recall that the former Minister of State, Kathleen Lynch, was dealing with this matter. The Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Finian McGrath, is currently drafting legislation in this area. The heads of the Bill are at an advanced stage, so hopefully it will come to Cabinet in the near future. However, it has been difficult to get the balance right in this area and to ensure that the legislation is legally robust, as well as being fair to all concerned. Hard work has gone into trying to produce a robust system.
